4. Bust into a CD early
Cons: Cashing in a CD before it matures triggers an early-withdrawal penalty that varies but is typically three months' interest on CDs of less than 18 months to six months' interest on CDs of two years or longer, according to Bankrate.com. To pry open a one-year, $10,000 CD earning 4%, you'd pay a penalty of about $100. One consolation: You can deduct it on your tax return.
